of our world and our universe as we perceive it.
It is through sight that we receive 90% of our
information. It is through the use of telescopes
aiding the naked eye that we are aware of the
heavenly bodies around us. It is through light
that the energy from the sun is transferred to us.
The sun's energy supports the food chain; plants
use it to turn water and CO2 into energy usable by
other organisms. Solar energy was also used,

that we consume daily. Since light is such a basic

Reform And Fundamental Change In The Political - 1,174 words
Reform and Fundamental Change in the Political
Economy and Government of Texas The political
economy and government of each state in the United
States are different. James W. Lamare discusses
Texas politics in his book Texas Politics:
Economics, Power and Policy. In the last chapter
of the book, Lamar discusses reform and
fundamental change in the political economy and
government of Texas. In the following paragraphs,
I will discuss Lamare's view and give my own
opinions of his views. Lamar argues that the
economy of Texas is controlled by a relatively
small number of corporations. Wealth is socially
accepted as a sign of success. Many of the
dominant businesses in Texas are economically int ...

1984 - 1,513 words
1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four is a compelling novel,
written in the period just after W.W.II. It
details the life of one man, Winston Smith, and
his struggles with an undoubtedly fascist
government. The book is set approximately in the
year 1984, in which Winston's society is ruled by
a governing force known as The Party. At the head
of this government is a fictional figure known as
Big Brother, to whom all citizens must love and
respect. In this society, privacy and freedom do
not exist. People are constantly monitored by
telescreens, and subjected to a constant barrage
of propaganda. Any devious thought or action is
dealt with by cruel and deadly punishment. Winston

1984 By George Orwell - 983 words
1984 By George Orwell "War is peace. Freedom is
slavery. Ignorance is strength." This is the
slogan of the Ministry of Truth, a branch of the
totalitarian government in post-war London. The
figurehead of this government is Big Brother, who
employs a vast army of informers called the
Thought Police who watch and listen to every
citizen at all times through a device called a
telescreen for the least signs of criminal
deviation or unorthodox thoughts. This novel, like
Orwells earlier work Animal Farm and Aldous
Huxleys Brave New World, is an example of
anti-utopian fiction, that kind of fiction which
shows man at the mercy of some force over which he
has no control. Anti-utopian novels are usua ...

3 Non Traditional Religions Voodoo, Spiritualism, Cults - 2,024 words
3 Non Traditional Religions Voodoo, Spiritualism,
Cults Religion is primary agent of social control
in our society. Due to its communally held beliefs
and principles, we have a foundation on which we
can rest the laws, values, and the main doctrine,
of almost any society. Here in America, we have
tremendous freedom in both establishing and in
choosing the religion of our choice. This freedom
has given birth to many non-traditional religions
and practices. When discussing the topic of social
control and order within a society, these
non-traditional religions can be used very
strongly to bring about social change within an
individual then into the population. On the rise
in our nation, is the ...

A Booming End To The 19th Century - 1,105 words
A Booming End To The 19Th Century More changes
occurred in America in the late 19th century than
any other time period. The country went through
rapid expansion from residents of its land to
cuisine to transportation of goods and people.
While the last quarter of the 20th century brought
many modern conveniences, the century before
brought this country things that would be nearly
impossible to live without. The development of
railroads was the single greatest change in the
19th century. In only twenty-five years, almost
70,000 miles of tracks were laid. This in itself
was a great feat, because of all the people and
products used in the building of the railroads. In
order to build railroads, ...

A Critique Of Philosophical Approaches To Criminal Justice Reform - 1,000 words
A Critique Of Philosophical Approaches To Criminal
Justice Reform People are arrested every day in
the United States. They are put on probation or
sent to jail, and sometimes they are let out on
parole; there are millions of people affected. In
1995 alone there were over five million people
under some form of correctional supervision, and
the number is steadily increasing. The
incarceration rate is skyrocketing: the number of
prison inmates per 100,000 people has risen from
139 in 1980 to 411 in 1995. This is an immense
financial burden on the country. Federal
expenditure for correctional institutions alone
increased 248% from 1982 to 1992. Obviously
something has to be changed in the justic ...

... rial previously rated or labeled by the
television industry as to violent
content.(H.R.2888 3) After decades probing the
issue in one congressional committee after
another, it is time to acknowledge, emphatically,
that the simple choice is between censorship and
responsible voluntary conduct. There is, on this
topic, no middle ground. While the government can
cajole the industry, even talk over the industry
directly to the American public, it is ultimately
the public that must decide whether to watch,
protest against, or turn off particular violent
programming. It cannot be legislated on a program,

A Time To Kill - 801 words
A Time To Kill Tradition is a priceless component
to any culture, as it has been shaped and
developed by time itself. Tradition passes from
generation to generation, exercising its influence
through the actions and thoughts of a people. The
tradition that has materialized from the history
of the American South is no different. It remains
a pillar of hope, faith, and pride for those
southerners who embrace it. Tradition of the South
dictates a way life with roots in the very
foundation of the United States. While this may
act as a testament to the strength and courage of
the people of the south, the fact remains that the
principles laid down by this tradition defy civil
rights and respect for ...

given by Pierce and Nagel to the epistemological
questions of doubt and belief, though diverse in

contain a similar underlying principle. They both
serve to show that belief cannot come from any

A Womans Role - 755 words
A Woman's Role According to Judeo-Christian
tradition, divine edict clearly relegates women to
a position of subservience beneath men, as
expressed in the Genesis creation account. This
idea of female servility has dominated Western
culture for thousands of years with virtually no
significant changes; only in the past several
decades has the notion of male dominance lost
wide-spread acceptance in America. Prior to this
cultural shift, American ideology mandated that
women dutifully obey their husbands and confine
themselves to managing the home and raising
children, thus depriving them of any power beyond
the sphere of the home and rendering them
dependent on their husbands. This mentality i ...

Aborigines And Their Place In Politics For much of
their history, Australias major parties did not
perceive a need to have Aboriginal affairs
policies, but this altered in the 1960s and 1970s
as the Aboriginal interest came to occupy a more
prominent position. The policies of recent major
governments, those being the Australian Labor

Liberal Party and National Party, have changed
drastically since the Federation of Australia. The
approaches throughout history of these major
parties will be discussed briefly in order to gain

the greatest impacts of this new age thinking is
its effect on our Old World values. Western
societies values, morals and ethics became
debatable, with some people striving for change
and others clinging for stability. Battle lines
had been drawn and the Liberals and Conservatives
were ready to duke it out on a number of issues.
One of these debates centers on a womans right to
